Motorist Kevin McCarthy, Jr, 18, of 12 Elana Lane was driving a 1997 Saturn SC-1 on Berkshire Road, near its intersection with Sherman Street, about 1:16 am July 13, when the auto went off the road, struck an embankment and then flipped over onto its roof, police said. McCarthy refused medical treatment at the accident scene, police said. Sandy Hook firefighters responded to the accident. Ambulance volunteers later transported McCarthy to Danbury Hospital to be checked for head/neck pain. Police charged McCarthy with driving under the influence and with making a restricted turn. Police held McCarthy on $1,000 bail for a court appearance later that day. (Hicks photo)
